AI x Self Awareness: Overcoming Blind Spots

What AI Reveals About Your Hidden Patterns

Have you ever wondered why you keep facing the same challenges despite your best efforts? The answer might lie in your blind spots—those unconscious patterns and biases that drive your decisions without your awareness.

In our latest podcast episode, we explore how artificial intelligence can serve as an unbiased mirror, revealing aspects of yourself that friends, family, and even therapists might miss. Unlike humans, AI doesn't have emotional attachments or preconceptions when analyzing your language patterns and thought processes.

The Self-Awareness Paradox

Research consistently shows a striking disconnect: while 95% of people believe they're self-aware, studies suggest only 10-15% actually are. This gap exists because of cognitive biases like the Dunning-Kruger Effect and Illusory Superiority, which convince us we understand ourselves better than we truly do.

3-Minute AI Exercise

We've developed a simple exercise you can complete in just three minutes:

Use ChatGPT with this prompt:

"Based on what you know about me, what are three blind spots I might not be aware of?

For any insight that resonates, ask:

"Can you give me an example of how this blind spot might play out in real life?"

Finally, ask:

"What is one practical action I can start taking today to begin overcoming this blind spot?"

From Awareness to Action

Through this exercise, I discovered I tend to overcomplicate explanations by layering on excessive details until the core idea gets buried.

Just recognizing this pattern has already helped me communicate more clearly.

Remember, identifying blind spots isn't about highlighting failures—it's about discovering opportunities for growth that have been hiding in plain sight.

"By admitting your inadequacies, you show that you're self-aware enough to know your areas for improvement—and secure enough to be open about them." – Adam Grant
